Congrats; and loved the piece about getting them as yearlings and being patient.

Killer Bird is such, such a great name.

That was a real exciting win for Killer on the slop and now back to back wins. Gelato Gal ran a much improved effort in the slop getting 3rd place today. She needs more gate schooling and look for her to get back on the turf going two turns in about a month. Killer came out of her race in good order.

Chuck purchased a Stay Thirsty colt at Ocala 2-year old training sale a couple of weeks ago that we bought into and he is already starting week 2 at Palm Meadows training center.

The 2 Frost Giant 2 -year old homebred colts are training well in Ocala and are about to be shipped to Chuck at Palm Meadows in the next two weeks. They were bred to our Smarty Jones fillies Angry Dragon and Red Baroness.

Finally, Pennypennypenny is doing well at the barn in Palm Meadows before a decision is made whether to send her to Ocala and start a career as a broodmare..

Again thanks for all of the well wishes and we will have a lull the next 3-4 weeks before Oklahoma Den, Killer Bird and Gelato Gal make their next starts

Cannot wait to start following them. If they haven't been named yet, I may or may not have checked the Jockey Club Name book to see if "Frost Dragon" is available.

(Yes, I was a D&D nerd as a pre-teen. It made me super popular. Not.)

Siegfried, from the Nibelungenlied. It would fit the angry dragon colt perfectly!!

Though technically, Fadhmir was the dragon, wasn't he?

It's easy to speculate on ideas when it's not our horse to name, isn't it? Hee hee.

Killer Bird was a nightmare as a baby. She flat out refused to carry a rider on her back for almost a month. She would either buck them off or throw herself on the ground. Needless to say she wasn't very popular with the riders.
She still has a few oddball things that she does but is really pretty close to normal now.
